Xu Mumu didn’t stay long before Madam Chen and the others returned, and looking at the things Madam Chen brought back, Xu Mumu felt a bit helpless. Besides buying a lot of meat, there were also various vegetables. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Grandma, why did you buy so many vegetables? To make vegetable pancakes?" Xu Mumu thought she might have figured it out.

"Ah, my granddaughter is still the smartest. We’ll sell the vegetable pancakes a bit cheaper, and people will definitely come to buy them." Madam Chen said this with full confidence. From yesterday’s business, she had already tasted the sweetness and was ready to expand.

Then Xu Mumu was pulled over to help cut the meat, chopping it into small pieces—this was hard work, but Xu Mumu was strong.

Meanwhile, Madam Chen and the others started preparing potatoes. The potatoes sold very well yesterday, so today they prepared more.

Mincing meat wasn’t difficult for Xu Mumu. Her speed and strength quickly turned the meat into minced meat. It was cold outside, so she wasn’t worried about it spoiling in the kitchen over the afternoon.

Seeing the things Madam Chen and the others prepared, Xu Minglei still agreed very much. As the afternoon approached and it was time to push the cart out, the cart was already full, leaving no place for the younger brother to sit.

"Grandma, isn’t it too much stuff we’re bringing?" Xu Mumu asked with a headache, wondering if they could really sell everything. She was worried that if they couldn’t sell it all, it would definitely hurt their confidence.

"It’s okay, it’s not too much, we’ll definitely sell everything today." Madam Chen was full of confidence. She felt she could make money. With this opportunity, why stay idle at home all day chatting with the elderly when it’s more interesting to make money?

Upon arriving, there were still the same few sellers without any increase, but while Xu Mumu and the others were preparing, she noticed some people secretly observing them.

Seeing they didn’t approach or show malice, Xu Mumu didn’t bother with them and didn’t even mention it to Madam Chen and the others.

Since they sold so much yesterday, it’s natural some would notice their money-making methods. Xu Mumu dared to guarantee that soon, many similar stalls would appear.

She didn’t expect this small stall to always be profitable. Xu Mumu hoped that after making money from this stall, the family could rent or buy a storefront and continue selling these things, adding some fast food items, and open near a school where there would definitely be more customers. She had no long-term plans to work here.

"Sister, is that aunt over there watching us? I see her staring at our stall." Xu Minglei squeezed up to Xu Mumu’s ear and whispered.

"Hmm, don’t mind her, as long as she doesn’t cause trouble, it’s fine," Xu Mumu calmly replied.

"Oh." Xu Minglei nodded and didn’t say more. Since people weren’t causing trouble, he couldn’t trouble them either. There was no excuse; the lady glanced over at their stall, which didn’t break any laws.

Xu Minglei still couldn’t help but sneak a few glances at the lady, but soon he had no time to pay her attention as it was quitting time.

They had prepared a lot today, and people here knew they’d be selling, so as soon as work was over, people came to buy. The meat pancakes and vegetable pancakes were frying in the pan, smelling delicious. The tea eggs smelled great too; their stall definitely drew the most attention.

The meat pancakes sold well. Madam Chen occasionally made them at home, and her skills were decent.

The fried potatoes sold quickly. After most people finished work and left, they had surprisingly sold almost everything, leaving Xu Mumu astonished. Her grandma’s foresight was something else.

"Grandma, you’re amazing! We don’t have much left; we could eat the rest for dinner when we get home." Xu Minglei shamelessly praised his grandma, looking at her with admiration since most of these things were bought by Madam Chen.

"Of course, you’re still young, learn more from me." Madam Chen proudly said, in a great mood, not even fatigue could dampen her spirits.

"I’ll definitely learn more from Grandma." Xu Minglei earnestly nodded, completely sincere.

Xu Mumu’s mouth twitched; her grandma was just an ordinary old lady from the countryside. Those two were something else—one dared to say it, and the other dared to listen.

On the way home, Xu Mumu couldn’t help but talk to them about those who were observing them.

"Grandma, I guess in a few days, many similar stalls will appear, and our business will surely be affected." Xu Mumu seriously said. After all, what they made was decent, but not as excellent as Xu Xue’s cooking skills, and they weren’t particularly talented. Competing in taste with others wasn’t their strength.

"No way, this is our stuff; they’re not allowed to copy," Madam Chen was suddenly a bit anxious.

"Grandma, calm down. I didn’t expect us to make much money from this. After we earn enough, we’ll rent a shop near a nearby university to sell these things, so we can sell more." Xu Mumu helplessly explained. They didn’t choose locations by middle or high schools because students there had limited spending and free time; outside a university was a great option.

The universities would definitely get better over time. When the time comes, they could buy the shop. Even if they don’t want to do fast-food business, selling anything else would still be profitable.

"Really, there will be many people coming to steal our trade!" But Madam Chen didn’t really hear the rest of Xu Mumu’s words. Just the thought of people sharing their business made her feel awful, like someone was digging her heart out.

"Grandma, what we’re doing isn’t difficult; anyone can do it. Being copied is inevitable," said Xu Mumu with a smile. Given today’s good business, it’s likely many will be tempted, and within a few days, imitators will start appearing, not just around the cotton mill but outside other factory gates too.

"Grandma, sister’s right. We’ll prepare the same amount tomorrow, and in the following days, we’ll prepare a bit less. Even if others are around, it doesn’t mean we won’t have business. Like sister said, before the new semester starts after the New Year, we’ll open a shop outside a university to make long-term money," Xu Minglei said seriously.
